By EDGAR RICE BURROUGHS

BEGIN HEBE After the death in 188© of John Clayton. Lord Greys tok e. and hi* wife. Lady Alice, in the African jungrles. a mother ape steals their infant son Tartan, and drops her own dead babe in the cradle. At 18 years Tarzan has learned to read English books in his father's cabin, but can speak only ape language. He finds his father s photo, diary and a locket. As the diary Is in French Tarzan does not learn the riddle of his strang life. Mbonga and his tribe of savages Invade territory near Tarzan's home. A ship bearing white passengers anchors near-by. Tarzan saves the lives of William Cedi Clayton, son of the then Lord Greystoke: his companion. Jape Porter, and her colored maid. Esmeralda. Prof. Archimedes Q. Porter. Jane's father, and his secretary. Samuel T. Philander, bury the skeletons found in the cabin and notice the tiny one is not human. They ascertain from a crest ring and John Clayton s name In hie books that the bones are of Lord and Lady Greystoke. Tarzan watches mutineers of the Arrow bury a treasure chest. He secretly unearths and reburies it. He reads a letter written by Jane to Hazel Strong saying her father has borrowed $lO.00 from Robert Canler and gone in search of buried treasure. After finding it the sailors mutiny and leave Jane and her father In Africa. Tarzan leaves a love not for Jane, but she is stolen by Terkoz, an ape. before finding it. Signal fires bring a rescue boat and the crew, headed by Lieut. D'Arrot. search the jungle for jane. Half starved survivors of the Arrow tell of the buried chest. Jane brances Tarzan ardently when he kills the ape to save her and he carries her Into the jungle. Jane notices Tarzan resembles the miniature hi his locket. He insists she wear it about her neck. GO ON WITH THE STORY She noticed that he was watching her and thinking that he wished his ornament again she held it out to him. He took it from her and taping the chain in his two hands he placed it about her neck, smiling at her expression of surprise at nis unexpected gift. Jane Porter shook her head vehemently and would have removed the golden links from about her throat, but Tarzan would not let her. Taking her hands in his. when she insisted upon it. he held them tightly to prevent her. At last she desisted and with a little laugh raised the locket to her lips, and, rising, dropped him a little courtesy. Tarzan did not know precisely what she meant, but he guessed correctly that It was her - way of acknowledging the gift, and so he rose, too, and taking the locket in his hand, stooped gravely like some courtier of old, and pressed his lips upon it where hers had restedIt was a stately and gallant little compliment performed with the grace and dignity of utter unconsciousness of self. It was the hallmark of his aristocratic birth, the natural outcropping of many generations of fine breeding, an hereditary Instinct of graciousness which a lifetime of uncouth and savage training and environment could not eradicate. It was growing dark now, and so they ate again of the fruit which was both food and drink for them, and then Tarzan rose and leading J&ne Porter to the little bower he had erected, motioned her to go within. For the first time in hours a feeling of fear swept over her, and Tarzan felt her draw away as though shrinking from him. Contact with this girl for half a day had left a very different Tarzan from the one on whom the morning’s sun had risen.

IF KB BOTHER TiH DOSE OF SKITS No man or woman can majke a mistake by flushing the kidneys occasionally, says a well-known authority. Too much rich food creates acids which clog the kidney pores so that they sluggishly filter or strain only part of the waste and poison from the blood. Then you get sick.

This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for years to help flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them to activity, also to help neutralize the acids in the system so they no longer cause irritation, thus often relieving bladder disorders. Jad Salts is inexpensive and can not injure; makes a delightful effervescent lithia-water drink, which very one ban take now and then to help keep the kidneys clean and the blood pure, thereby often preventing serious kidney complications. By all means have your physician examine your kidneys at least twice a year— Advertisement.

He had not in one swift transition become a polished gentleman from a savage ape-man, but at last the instincts of the former predominated, and over all was t'e desire’to please the woman he lover, and to appear well In her eyes. So Tarzan of the Apes did the only thing he knew to assure Jane Porter of her safety. He removed his hunting knife from its sheath and handed it to her hilt first, again motioning her into the bower. The girl understood, and taking the long knife she entered and lay down upon the soft grasses while Tarzan of the Apes stretched himself upon the ground across the entrance. When Jane Porter awoke, she did not at first recall the strange events of the preceding day and so she wondered at her odd surroundings—the littla leafy bower, the soft grasses of her bed, the unfamiliar prospect from the opening at her feet. Slowly the circumstances of her position crept one by one into her mind. And then a great wonderment arose in her l^eart —a mighty wave of thankfulness and gratitude that though she had been in such terrible danger, yet she was unharmed.

She moved to the entrance of the shelter to look for Tarzan. He was gone; but this time no fear assailed her for she knew that he would return. In the-grass at the entrance to her bower she saw the imprint of his body where he had lain all night to guard her. She knew that the fact that he had been there was all that had permitted her to sleep tn such peaceful security. With him near who could enterain fear? She wondered If there was another man on earth with whom a girl could feel so safe in the heart of this savage African jungle. Why even lions and panthers had no fears for her now. She looked up to see his lithe form drop softly from a nearby tree. As he caught her eyes upon him his face lighted with that frank and radiant smile 'that had won her confidence the day before. As he approached her Jane Porter's heart beat faster and her eyes brightened as they had never done before at the approach of any man. He had again been gathering fruit and this he laid af the entrance of her bower. Once more they sat together to eat.

Jane Porter commenced to wonder what his plans were. Would he take her back to the beach or would he keep her here? Suddenly she realized that the matter did not seem to give her much concern. Could it be that she did not carp! She began to comprehend also, that she was entirely contented sitting there by the side of this smiling giant eat delicious fruit in a sylvan paradise far within the remote depths of an African jungle—that she was contented and very happy. She could not understand it. Her reason told her that she should be torn by wild anxieties, weighted by dread fears, cast down by gloomy forebodings; but instead, her heart was singing and she was smiling into the answering face of the man beside her. When they had finished their breakfast Tarzan went to her bower and recovered his knife. The girl had entirely forgotten it. She '•ealizcd that- it was because she had forgotten the fear that prompted her to accept it. Motioning her to follow, Tarzan walked toward the trees at the edge of the arena, and taking her in one strong arm swung to the branches above. "

The girl knew that he was taking her back to her people, and she could not understand the sudden feeling of loneliness and sorrow which crept ever her. For hours they swung slowly along. Tarzan of the Apes did not hurry. He tried to draw out the sweet pleasure of that journey with those dear arms about his neck as long as possible, and so he went far south of the direct route to the beach. Several times they -halted for brief rests, which Tarzan did not need, and at noon they stopped for an hour at a little brook, where they quenched their thirst, and ate. So it was nearly sunset when they came to the clearing, and Tarzan, dropping to the ground beside a great tree, parted the tall jungle grass and pointed out the little cabin to her. v She took him by the hand to lead him to It. that she might tell her father that this man had saved her from death and worse than death, that he had watched over her as carefully as a njother might have done. But the timidity of the wild thing in the face of human habitation swept over Tarzan of the Apes. He drew back, shaking his head. The girl came close to him, looking up with pleading eyes. Somehow she could not bear the thought of his going back Into the terrible jungle alone. Still he shook his head, and finally he drew her to him very gently and stooped to kiss her*.,but first he looked into her eyes and waited to learn if she were pleased, or if she would repulse him. Just an instant the girl hesitated, and then she realized the truth, and throwing her arms about his neck she drew his face to hers and kissed him—unashamed. “I love you—l love you,*' she murmured. From farrtn the distance came the faint sound of many guns. Tarzan and Jane Porter raised hear heads. From the cabin came Mr. Philander and Esmeralda, From where Tarzan and the girl stood they could not see the two vessels lying at anqhor in the harbor. Tarzan pointed toward the sounds, touched his breast and pointed again. She understood. He was going and Something told her that it was because he thought her people were in danger. Again he kissed her. “Come back to me,” she whispered. "I shall wait for you—always.” He was gone—and Jane Porter

turned to walk across the clearing to the cabin. Mr. Philander was the first to see her. “Jane!” he cried. “Jane Porter. Bless me!” He scrambled to his feet and rushed toward her. He could not believe that it was she, and alive. “Bless me! Where did you come from? Where in the world have you been? How—” “Mercy, Mr. Philander,” interrupted the girl, "I never can remember so many questions.” “Well, well,” said Mr. Philander. “Bless me! lam so .fUled with surprise and exuberant 'dCTtght at seeing you safe and well again that I scarcely know what I am saying, really. But come, tell me all that has happened to you.” CHAPTER XXI Th Village of Torture As the little expedition of sailors toiled through the dense jungle searching for Jane Porter, the futility of their venture became more and more apparent, but the grief of the old man and the hopeless eyes of the young Englishman prevented the kind hearted D’Arnot from turning back. It was slow work. Noon found them but a few miles inland. They halted for a brief rest then, and after pushing on for a short distance further one of the men discovered a well marked trail. It was an old elephant track, and D’Arnot ater consulting with Professor Porter and Clayton decided to follow It. Lieutenant D’Arnot was in the lead and moving at a quick pace, for the trail was comparatively open. Immediately behind him, came Professor Porter, but as he could not keep pace with the younger man D’Arnot was a hundred yards In advance- when suddenly a' half dozen black warriors arose about him. D’Arnot gave a warning shout to his column as the blacks closed on him, but before he could draw his revolver he had been pinioned and dragged into the Jungle. His cry had alarmed the sailors and a dozen of them sprang forward past Professor Porter, running up the trail to their officer’s aid. They did not know the cause of his outcry, only that it was a warning of danger ahead. They had rushed past the spot where D’Arnot had been seized when a spear hurled from the jungle transfixed one of the men, and then a volley of arrows fell among them. By this time [the balance of the

party had come up, and volley after voltey waa fired .toward the concealed foe. It was these shots that Tarzan and Jane Porter heard. Lieutenant Charpentier, who had been bringing up the rear of the column, now came r inning to the scene, and on hearing the details of the ambuscade ordered the men to follow him, and plunged into the tangled vegetation. In an instant they were in a hand-to-hand fight with some fifty black warriors of Mbonga’s / village. Arrows and bullets flew thick and fast. Queer African knives and French gun butts mingled for a moment in savage and bloody duels, but soon the natives fled into the jungle, leaving the Frenchmen to count their losses. Four of the twenty were dead, a dozen others were wounded, and Lieutenant d’Amot was missing. Night was falling rapidly, and their predicament was rendered doubly worse through the fact they could not even find the elephant trail which they had been following. Copyright, A. C.
